From: The White House
by Ed Felton and Terah Lyons
Summary: A new report from the Administration focuses on the opportunities, considerations, and challenges of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Under President Obama’s leadership, America continues to be the world’s most innovative country, with the greatest potential to develop the industries of the future and harness science and technology to help address important challenges. Over the past 8 years, President Obama has relentlessly focused on building U.S. capacity in science and technology. This Thursday, President Obama will host the White House Frontiers Conference in Pittsburgh to imagine the Nation and the world in 50 years and beyond, and to explore America’s potential to advance towards the frontiers that will make the world healthier, more prosperous, more equitable, and more secure.
Today, to ready the United States for a future in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a growing role, the White House is releasing a report on future directions and considerations for AI called Preparing for the Future of Artificial Intelligence. This report surveys the current state of AI, its existing and potential applications, and the questions that progress in AI raise for society and public policy. The report also makes recommendations for specific further actions. A companion National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan is also being released, laying out a strategic plan for Federally-funded research and development in AI.
Preparing for the Future of Artificial Intelligence details several policy opportunities raised by AI, including how the technology can be used to advance social good and improve government operations; how to adapt regulations that affect AI technologies, such as automated vehicles, in a way that encourages innovation while protecting the public; how to ensure that AI applications are fair, safe, and governable; and how to develop a skilled and diverse AI workforce.
As we discuss the complexities of regulatory frameworks and their impact on project execution, it’s crucial to also consider the efficiency of resource allocation. Effective resource scheduling is a cornerstone of successful project management, especially in regulated environments. I recommend checking out the article Resource Scheduling in Project Management: Advantages, Disadvantages , which explores how to optimize project resources effectively. It offers a balanced view on the benefits and challenges, providing key insights that could be particularly beneficial in navigating the constraints imposed by regulatory frameworks. How could these scheduling strategies improve compliance and efficiency in your projects?
